oh, fuck. my bil is bipolar and off his meds. he'd been living at his mother's and when she left for a business trip with her husband last week, he had been doing ok, making his check in phone calls, going to work, but then he flipped. He started calling in to work and stole his mom's car among other things (her husband is a musician, think big ticket items). so we were all a little freaked last night at hubby's party, but today mil called to say, oh, my god, call hubby and have him lock down office. My bil strong-armed the downtown chinese restaurant with a gun (alone or with someone I do not know) just an hour ago and so now I am deadbolted into my house freaked.
I think he is raising his game. He has attempted suicide before, but this quick rise through whatever levels of safety crime might have makes me think he could be trying to get to a point where someone would do the suicide for him. Everytime a car drives by I am looking outside. . . as soon as Garth is home I think we will be outta here.
Of course, my parents did not come or call last night for my hubby's birthday and they did not answer their phone when I called to warn the about bil. when I called my sil to warn her to be on the look out, i don't think bil knows where they live and would want to rob their poor asses, but she took the opportunity to tell me that she had talked to "Mom" this morning. (my mom, bitch, not yours) anyway--I don't want anyone hurt, bil included, but he needs to stay on his meds. she wanted to have a conversation with me and I was so not into that--#1 I am in crisis shock mode and #2 she is so totally NOT the person I would ever want to chat with. . .
but note, that in stress I have turned to LJ to type and am not devouring the chocolate cake that is so loudly calling my name from the kitchen.
and of course it is fucking beautiful outside! must be over 70 degreess and I am locked inside scared without information!
